I've downloaded drivers for my PC. they were in *.tar.gz archive. I unpacked it and it created a folder with files there was a readme file with following instructions:

Quick install

=============
In terminal,

1) Goto source directory
2) Execute make command as root
make
make install


through Konsole I go to that new folder and write in command: "make", but I get error... what do I do wrong ?


p.s. check screenshot !

You are building a kernel module that will need to be linked back to the kernel source tree. You need to install the kernel source package.

Remember that building a module manually this way will require you to rebuild the module every time the kernel is updated.

thnx for that. I got through the "make" part...

now...I get error when I try to execute "make install"...

This kinda error usually means the module was built against a different kernel source tree than the running kernel. Compare the output of to the kernel directory in the last few lines your screenshot. Make sure it matches, if not it's the wrong kernel source.
